Chapter 630 – Honesty (1/2)

Originally, Li Qingshan wanted to return to Han Qiongzhi’s side, but he immediately changed directions now.

Chu Danqing was currently meditating in his room. Suddenly, he heard knocking on the door, but he saw no one when he opened it. Li Qingshan’s voice rang out by his ear. “I’ll come in and talk!”

The door was closed again, and Li Qingshan’s figure appeared. Chu Danqing said in surprise, “Qingshan, aren’t you accompanying senior sister Han? Why have you come to my place?”

“There’s something I need your help with.” Li Qingshan cut right to the chase and took out all the fragments of the Three Absolutes Calligraphy. “I was wondering if you were as capable as master Chu and could assemble these fragments?”

Chu Danqing said, “Wait, so- Where did you get these from?”

“You don’t have to worry about that- fine, I’ll tell you. I stole them just now.” Li Qingshan considered and felt like it was still better for Chu Danqing to know what was going on, so he roughly explained what had happened.

“Qingshan, you really do become more bold the more capable you are, to actually take action in the marquis’ estate. These people have really been down on their luck to plot against you. So it’s actually called the Three Absolutes Calligraphy. That sure is fitting. However, considering this is connected to a Golden Core cultivator, there’ll probably be quite a lot of trouble.”

“Who cares. Can you repair it or not?”

“Of course I can. My master already mentioned it the last time he repaired it for you. It’s a pity that my cultivation is insufficient, but using the Jade Blood of Vermillion and Black makes it much easier to assemble these fragments!”

Chu Danqing’s face was filled with pride and confidence, as well as some embarrassment.

Chu Shidao had already discovered the way to assemble these fragments, and Chu Danqing understood the entire process, which saved him the largest bit of trouble. Moreover, he was brimming with vigour, so it would actually be much easier for him than Chu Shidao, who already had a foot in the grave back then. Coupled with the assistance from his Jade Blood of Vermillion and Black, he could be described as the optimal choice for this job.

“Alright then. Looks like I’ll make you bleed this time. You can take these paintings as remuneration.” Li Qingshan took out his spoils from killing Chu Danqing’s three seniors.

Chu Danqing said sternly, “Qingshan, I can’t accept these.”

“Being able to study the work of the Five Absolutes Immortal will greatly benefit my painting ability. This is already the greatest remuneration you can give me.”

Chu Danqing refused to accept them no matter what. If Li Qingshan insisted on paying him, he would rather not do this job at all.

Li Qingshan never liked haggling around either. “Fine then! I couldn’t tell, but you sure are stubborn.”

Chu Danqing smiled. “Aren’t you persistent too, Qingshan?” He faltered before saying, “Actually, I hope that I can become accomplished with painting one day and specially paint a painting of you.”

Li Qingshan shook his head with a smile. “I’m not a beauty, so what is there to paint?”

“Painters like painting beauties, but I’d rather paint the heroes of the world, and then establish a gallery of heroes so that people of the future can all look up to their glorious demeanours!” Chu Danqing’s eyes shone.

“I believe a day like that will arrive!” Li Qingshan smiled. Though unfortunately, I’m no hero.

Li Qingshan turned invisible again and secretly returned to his residence, arriving by Han Qiongzhi’s side. She laid on her side with her eyes shut as if she was sleeping. Li Qingshan laid down behind her and pulled her into his arms gently, covering her chest naturally. He whispered into her ear.

“What, aren’t you going to ask me where I went?”

“You’ll obviously tell me what you want to tell me,” Han Qiongzhi said with her eyes shut, without responding to his intimate contact.

Li Qingshan forcefully turned her around, and only then was she forced to open her eyes. She pursed her lips and said nothing, but Li Qingshan was able to read exactly what she was thinking, I’ve already been so considerate with you, so how can you be discontent?
